FusesFUSES
Fuses are simple circuit devices which protect 
electrical equipment against the effects of 
excess current.
A ‘blown’ fuse is indicated when the electrical 
equipment it protects becomes inoperative.
Fuses are colour coded to help identify their 
amperage rating, as follows:

Press the fuse removal tweezers onto the head 
of the suspect fuse (as  shown) and pull to 
remove. A break in the wire inside the fuse 
indicates that the fuse has blown and must be 
replaced. 
Always replace a fuse with another of the same 
value, however, if the replacement fuse blows 
immediately the circuit MUST be checked by a 
qualified dealer.
NOTE: There are a number of spare fuses 
included within the fuse box (see fuse box 
label).
A label in the fuse box cover shows the circuits...
